outstanding serviceI looked online for these and didn't have them anywhere. Called to find them in stores since I like putting them on before buying. The customer service looked at all the near by stores and found a pair in 9.5 and 10 just in case then called the store to verify and had them hold them at the front desk for me. These boots were rated 3rd best out of over 20 in backpacking mag and are much cheaper than the top two. They are sold out everywhere. I was really impressed by the customer service.

Well built, worth itSturdy, Not too heavy and a thick sole make this a great value hiking boot. If you're used to any boot, this will feel great! If you're used to flip flops, they will feel heavy but rest assured the stability they provide is worth it.
PROS: Handles terrain well; can't "feel everything" on the ground, Somewhat light, not too heavy, Holds feet securely due to construction, Price
CONS: Really, just that these are more rigid/hard than i'm used to (compared to "regular" sneakers

Excellent boots!I took these boots right out of the box and the very next day hiked 10+ miles along the Appalachian Trail. Ready to use and comfortable as soon as I put them on my feet. Really comfortable and sturdy to hike in.

Great hiker!I bought these after trying on about every hiking boot they had. They run a little smal but I went on a five mile hike the day I purchased these and they are exactly what I needed.

Very comfortable, but just couldn't hack the abuseI have back problems and I needed a pair of good boots that could help with that and put up with the work I do. I'm a Tech and the boots often get wet. They worked great at first. I kept them up with saddle soap to make sure the leather stayed soft and supple. Unfortunately after about 6 months, they developed a crack along the top by where your toes are and started leaking like a faucet. I didn't want to deal with any mildew or possible problems with the moisture so I was forced to toss my 145$ investment away. The really sad part is I live in a desert! Great boots as long as you don't treat them too roughly I guess.

Awesome boots!I purchased these boots about a month ago and wanted to try them out before I gave a review. I'm a landscaper and I'm on my feet all day in both wet and dry conditions. They are lite and breath very well, my feet only get wet if I'm sweating and they dry out quickly when I do. They do take about a week to break in, you will notice the laces keep getting longer and you will have to retie them a couple times a day but overall I'm very satisfied with them.
